α-stable random walk has massive thorns

Alexander Bendikov, Wojciech Cygan (2015)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We introduce and study a class of random walks defined on the integer lattice $ℤ^{d}$ -a discrete space and time counterpart of the symmetric α-stable process in $ℝ^{d}$ . When 0 < α <2 any coordinate axis in $ℤ^{d}$ , d ≥ 3, is a non-massive set whereas any cone is massive. We provide a necessary and sufficient condition for a thorn to be a massive set.

On the geometry of proportional quotients of $l ₁^{m}$

Piotr Mankiewicz, Stanisław J. Szarek (2003)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

We compare various constructions of random proportional quotients of $l ₁^{m}$ (i.e., with the dimension of the quotient roughly equal to a fixed proportion of m as m → ∞) and show that several of those constructions are equivalent. As a consequence of our approach we conclude that the most natural “geometric” models possess a number of asymptotically extremal properties, some of which were hitherto not known for any model.

On the Law of Large Numbers for Nonmeasurable Identically Distributed Random Variables

Alexander R. Pruss (2013)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

Similarity:

Let Ω be a countable infinite product $Ω ₁^{ℕ}$ of copies of the same probability space Ω₁, and let Ξₙ be the sequence of the coordinate projection functions from Ω to Ω₁. Let Ψ be a possibly nonmeasurable function from Ω₁ to ℝ, and let Xₙ(ω) = Ψ(Ξₙ(ω)). Then we can think of Xₙ as a sequence of independent but possibly nonmeasurable random variables on Ω. Let Sₙ = X₁ + ⋯ + Xₙ. By the ordinary Strong Law of Large Numbers, we almost surely have $E_{*} [X ₁] \leq l i m i n f S ₙ / n \leq l i m s u p S ₙ / n \leq E * [X ₁]$ , where $E_{*}$ and E* are the lower and upper expectations....

About the generating function of a left bounded integer-valued random variable

Charles Delorme, Jean-Marc Rinkel (2008)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

Similarity:

We give a relation between the sign of the mean of an integer-valued, left bounded, random variable $X$ and the number of zeros of $1 - Φ (z)$ inside the unit disk, where $Φ$ is the generating function of $X$ , under some mild conditions

Complete convergence theorems for normed row sums from an array of rowwise pairwise negative quadrant dependent random variables with application to the dependent bootstrap

Andrew Rosalsky, Yongfeng Wu (2015)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

Let ${X_{n, j}, 1 \leq j \leq m (n), n \geq 1}$ be an array of rowwise pairwise negative quadrant dependent mean 0 random variables and let $0 < b_{n} \to \infty$ . Conditions are given for $\sum_{j = 1}^{m (n)} X_{n, j} / b_{n} \to 0$ completely and for ${max}_{1 \leq k \leq m (n)} | \sum_{j = 1}^{k} X_{n, j} | / b_{n} \to 0$ completely. As an application of these results, we obtain a complete convergence theorem for the row sums $\sum_{j = 1}^{m (n)} X_{n, j}^{*}$ of the dependent bootstrap samples ${{X_{n, j}^{*}, 1 \leq j \leq m (n)}, n \geq 1}$ arising from a sequence of i.i.d. random variables ${X_{n}, n \geq 1}$ .

Coherent randomness tests and computing the $K$ -trivial sets

Laurent Bienvenu, Noam Greenberg, Antonín Kučera, André Nies, Dan Turetsky (2016)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We introduce Oberwolfach randomness, a notion within Demuth’s framework of statistical tests with moving components; here the components’ movement has to be coherent across levels. We show that a ML-random set computes all $K$ -trivial sets if and only if it is not Oberwolfach random, and indeed that there is a $K$ -trivial set which is not computable from any Oberwolfach random set. We show that Oberwolfach random sets satisfy effective versions of almost-everywhere theorems of analysis,...

On the singular values of random matrices

Shahar Mendelson, Grigoris Paouris (2014)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We present an approach that allows one to bound the largest and smallest singular values of an $N \times n$ random matrix with iid rows, distributed according to a measure on $ℝ^{n}$ that is supported in a relatively small ball and linear functionals are uniformly bounded in $L_{p}$ for some $p > 8$ , in a quantitative (non-asymptotic) fashion. Among the outcomes of this approach are optimal estimates of $1 \pm c \sqrt{n / N}$ not only in the case of the above mentioned measure, but also when the measure is log-concave or when it a product...

Random ε-nets and embeddings in $ℓ_{\infty}^{N}$

Y. Gordon, A. E. Litvak, A. Pajor, N. Tomczak-Jaegermann (2007)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

We show that, given an n-dimensional normed space X, a sequence of $N = {(8 / ε)}^{2 n}$ independent random vectors ${(X_{i})}_{i = 1}^{N}$ , uniformly distributed in the unit ball of X*, with high probability forms an ε-net for this unit ball. Thus the random linear map $Γ : ℝ \to ℝ^{N}$ defined by $Γ x = {(⟨ x, X_{i} ⟩)}_{i = 1}^{N}$ embeds X in $ℓ_{\infty}^{N}$ with at most 1 + ε norm distortion. In the case X = ℓ₂ⁿ we obtain a random 1+ε-embedding into $ℓ_{\infty}^{N}$ with asymptotically best possible relation between N, n, and ε.

Geometrically strictly semistable laws as the limit laws

Marek T. Malinowski (2007)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

A random variable X is geometrically infinitely divisible iff for every p ∈ (0,1) there exists random variable $X_{p}$ such that $X \overset{d}{=} \sum_{k = 1}^{T (p)} X_{p, k}$ , where $X_{p, k}$ ’s are i.i.d. copies of $X_{p}$ , and random variable T(p) independent of $X_{p, 1}, X_{p, 2}, . . .$ has geometric distribution with the parameter p. In the paper we give some new characterization of geometrically infinitely divisible distribution. The main results concern geometrically strictly semistable distributions which form a subset of geometrically infinitely divisible distributions....

Universality of the asymptotics of the one-sided exit problem for integrated processes

Frank Aurzada, Steffen Dereich (2013)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

Similarity:

We consider the one-sided exit problem – also called one-sided barrier problem – for ( $α$ -fractionally) integrated random walks and Lévy processes. Our main result is that there exists a positive, non-increasing function $α \mapsto θ (α)$ such that the probability that any $α$ -fractionally integrated centered Lévy processes (or random walk) with some finite exponential moment stays below a fixed level until time $T$ behaves as $T^{- θ (α) + o (1)}$ for large $T$ . We also investigate when the fixed level can be replaced by a different...

Convergence to stable laws and a local limit theorem for stochastic recursions

Mariusz Mirek (2010)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We consider the random recursion $X ₙ^{x} = M ₙ X_{n - 1}^{x} + Q ₙ + N ₙ (X_{n - 1}^{x})$ , where x ∈ ℝ and (Mₙ,Qₙ,Nₙ) are i.i.d., Qₙ has a heavy tail with exponent α > 0, the tail of Mₙ is lighter and $N ₙ (X_{n - 1}^{x})$ is smaller at infinity, than $M ₙ X_{n - 1}^{x}$ . Using the asymptotics of the stationary solutions we show that properly normalized Birkhoff sums $S ₙ^{x} = \sum_{k = 0}^{n} X_{k}^{x}$ converge weakly to an α-stable law for α ∈ (0,2]. The related local limit theorem is also proved.

Small positive values for supercritical branching processes in random environment

Vincent Bansaye, Christian Böinghoff (2014)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

Similarity:

Branching Processes in Random Environment (BPREs) $(Z_{n} : n \geq 0)$ are the generalization of Galton–Watson processes where in each generation the reproduction law is picked randomly in an i.i.d. manner. In the supercritical case, the process survives with positive probability and then almost surely grows geometrically. This paper focuses on rare events when the process takes positive but small values for large times. We describe the asymptotic behavior of $ℙ (1 \leq Z_{n} \leq k | Z_{0} = i)$ , $k, i \in ℕ$ as $n \to \infty$ . More precisely, we characterize...

Stable random fields and geometry

Shigeo Takenaka (2010)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

Let (M,d) be a metric space with a fixed origin O. P. Lévy defined Brownian motion X(a); a ∈ M as 0. X(O) = 0. 1. X(a) - X(b) is subject to the Gaussian law of mean 0 and variance d(a,b). He gave an example for $M = S^{m}$ , the m-dimensional sphere. Let $Y (B); B \in ℬ (S^{m})$ be the Gaussian random measure on $S^{m}$ , that is, 1. Y(B) is a centered Gaussian system, 2. the variance of Y(B) is equal of μ(B), where μ is the uniform measure on $S^{m}$ , 3. if B₁ ∩ B₂ = ∅ then Y(B₁) is independent of Y(B₂). 4. for $B_{i}$ , i = 1,2,..., $B_{i} \cap B_{j} = \emptyset$ ,...

The absolute continuity of the invariant measure of random iterated function systems with overlaps

Balázs Bárány, Tomas Persson (2010)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We consider iterated function systems on the interval with random perturbation. Let $Y_{ε}$ be uniformly distributed in [1-ε,1+ ε] and let $f_{i} \in C^{1 + α}$ be contractions with fixpoints $a_{i}$ . We consider the iterated function system $Y_{ε} f_{i} + a_{i} (1 - Y_{ε}) ⁿ_{i = 1}$ , where each of the maps is chosen with probability $p_{i}$ . It is shown that the invariant density is in L² and its L² norm does not grow faster than 1/√ε as ε vanishes. The proof relies on defining a piecewise hyperbolic dynamical system on the cube with an SRB-measure whose projection...

The spread of a catalytic branching random walk

Philippe Carmona, Yueyun Hu (2014)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

Similarity:

We consider a catalytic branching random walk on $ℤ$ that branches at the origin only. In the supercritical regime we establish a law of large number for the maximal position $M_{n}$ : For some constant $α$ , $\frac{M_{n}}{n} \to α$ almost surely on the set of infinite number of visits of the origin. Then we determine all possible limiting laws for $M_{n} - α n$ as $n$ goes to infinity.

Positivity of integrated random walks

Vladislav Vysotsky (2014)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

Similarity:

Take a centered random walk $S_{n}$ and consider the sequence of its partial sums $A_{n} : = \sum_{i = 1}^{n} S_{i}$ . Suppose $S_{1}$ is in the domain of normal attraction of an $α$ -stable law with $1 l t; α \leq 2$ . Assuming that $S_{1}$ is either right-exponential (i.e. $ℙ (S_{1} g t; x | S_{1} g t; 0) = e^{- a x}$ for some $a g t; 0$ and all $x g t; 0$ ) or right-continuous (skip free), we prove that $ℙ {A_{1} g t; 0, \dots, A_{N} g t; 0} \sim C_{α} N^{1 / (2 α) - 1 / 2}$ as $N \to \infty$ , where $C_{α} g t; 0$ depends on the distribution of the walk. We also consider a conditional version of this problem and study positivity of integrated discrete bridges.
